Variation in refractive error and corneal curvature after wearing hydrophilic contact lenses

Twenty-eight eyes of people who have successfully worn hydrophilic contact lenses were monitored during a period after removal of their contact lenses. The results are compared to similar studies of wearers of non-flexible contact lens. While both curvature and refractive changes in a number of eyes stabilized at about one week, others did not stabilize until three weeks or more.
